"Hi Stiles." Elena said standing up.

"What the hell are you doing here!" Stiles exclaimed.

"I invited her." Allison interrupted; making Stiles glare at her.

"Why?!" Stiles exclaimed.

"You are not capable of being her dad." Allison replied.

"How dare you!" Lydia pipped up. "I may not have been here long, but during this time Stiles has been the best damn fucking Dad I've ever seen!"

Stiles smiled slightly at her. "So are you two back together now?" Allison scoffed.

"DADDY!!!" Bella ran in jumping on him wrapping him in a hug. Stiles held her close.

"Hey babygirl." Stiles smiled.

"I missed you." Bella said nuzzling into his neck.

"I missed you too!" Stiles kissed her head.

"Who's that?" Bella asked pointing at Elena.

"Hi sweetie, I'm... well... your mom." Elena said and Stiles gave her a glare.

"Your my mom?" Bella questioned.

"No she's not!" Stiles interrupted. "Scott will you take her in the living room." Scott nodded not wanting to be a part of it, considering he spent his wedding night convincing Allison not to call Elena.

"How dare you say that!" Stiles spoke venom laced in his voice.

"What it's the truth!" Elena argued back.

"She's 3 years old! She doesn't even know her rights from her lefts!"

"Stiles i'm her mother and I deserve to see my child!"

"You lost that right the second you walked away from both our lives!" Stiles spat.

"I couldn't do it, I was too young." Elena said.

"AND YOU THINK I COULD!" Stiles shouted making the house go silent. "And don't come up with a bullshit excuse of you were on your own, you had me! I stuck with you through everything and then you just up and left."

"I'm not asking to move in with you or anything i just want to see my daughter. I did miss everything her first steps, first words." Elena explained.

"And who's faults that!" Stiles argued.

"Please Stiles." Elena pleaded. Stiles sighed rubbing his temple, he looked to Lydia who gave a sympathetic look.

"Fine! But I supervise." Elena squealed and hugged him which Stiles took by surprise.

"Thank you, you won't regret it." Elena smiled.

It was safe to say Lydia was worried, she had just got her guy and now her guys old girl is back and she could sense the formidable off her.

A couple of hours later and they were at the park laughing and joking. Lydia awkwardly sat on a bench while Stiles and Elena pushed her on the swing.

Considering what Allison has just done, Lydia knows her friendship with Allison is over but now her relationship might be over before it's even begun.

Stiles was happy, he wasn't at first but Elena grew on him and now Stiles didn't mind Elena being there.

Lydia however was bored out of her mind she couldn't help but feel left out, now that Bella had a mother she didn't need to be there.

Stiles and Lydia still hadn't talked about what they were or if they were even just together, but right now she didn't feel like she belonged.

Bella toddled over to her "Lydia can we got get ice-cream?" Lydia smiled and nodded. They headed to the ice-cream place.

Elena joined them sitting down together. Bella next to Lydia and Stiles and Elena next to each other. "So, Lydia what do you do?" Elena asked.

"Um, well I actually live in San Francisco but I was down here for Allison's wedding. But umm... I'm  taking a teaching degree." Lydia explained.

"That's nice." Elena spoke awkwardly.

"Daddy?" Bella said.

"Yes baby." Stiles replied.

"Is mommy gonna live with us?" She said eating her ice-cream. Stiles started coughing choking on air.

"Um... I mean." He was speechless.

"Yes sweetheart." Elena jumped in.

"Um... I've got to get going, I'll see you soon." Lydia said quietly getting up and leaving, Stiles chasing after her.

"Lydia wait!" Stiles stopped her.

"What?!"

"Where are you going?"

"Home." Lydia answer making Stiles heart ache.

"Oh okay." Stiles said quietly tears forming.

"Stiles..." he looked to her. "You have a family, and I'm not going to ruin that."

"Your not going to ruin it." He took her hand in his.

"I want you to be happy."

"I am happy. With you." He said stroking her cheek making her smile.

"Last night was... everything but now it's time for you to focus on your family."

"Please Lydia, not again, I don't think I can cope if you leave me again." Stiles begged.

"I'm not leaving you baby, I'm simply going away for a while, you can always call and text me but for now you need to focus on Bella." Stiles melted at her words.

"But I love you." He admitted.

"And I love you, always and forever." She smiled.

"Please?" He begged.

"Goodbye Stiles." She smiled and kissed his lips once last time. When she kissed him, he knew that you become homesick for people too.

She rested her head against his, taking in his scent. His whiskey brown eyes now glossed with tears. She kissed his nose before walking away. His hands slowly losing grip of hers.

There are things that we don't want to happen but we have to accept, things we don't know but have to learn, and people we can't live without but have to let go.

You can't loose what you never had, you can't keep what's not yours and you can't hold onto someone who doesn't want to stay. Stiles held onto Lydia.

And once again he watched her walk away.
